What happened
During the third Kenya Re AI4I Hackathon, ninety university students from 30 universities in Kenya created artificial intelligence tools for Kenya Reinsurance Corporation. These tools are designed to help reinsurers assess flood risks and improve insurance decisions. The challenge centered on using data to estimate the likelihood and financial impact of disasters, particularly floods.

Why it matters
Accurate catastrophe modeling is critical for reinsurers to estimate potential liabilities and determine how much risk they can afford to assume. AI-powered models can help insurers determine the risks they are taking on and set premiums that reflect the level of exposure.
